New Features Coming to Hearthstone - Quest with Friends & Deck List Importing
Soon you're going to be able to import and export decks from Hearthstone, and more importantly, complete quests by playing games with your friends! Golden cards will also now stack with normal ones on your deck lists.
- We will support the deck list features here on HearthPwn.
- According to Daxxarri, the upcoming patch will not remove the 500 cap on class wins. That's still further out.
- Ben Brode clarified that the collection itself will still show separate goldens and normals. The new tech is only for deck lists.
Quote from BlizzardHearthstone’s upcoming update has a lot of cool stuff in it, but we wanted to call special attention to a couple of features that we’re particularly excited about. We think you’ll like them too!
Friends Forever
When the new Hearthstone update arrives, you’ll be able to complete quests in Friendly Challenges! Just issue a Friendly Challenge to someone on your Friends list and rack up credit for nearly any quest you can receive.
Last year, the Friendly Feud allowed players to complete quests when they played with a friend. You gave us a ton of positive feedback about that event, and a lot of you asked us to have Friendly Feuds more often. We thought that was a good idea, so we took it a step further!
There are some minor caveats. For example, any quests that can’t be completed as part of a Friendly Challenge aren’t eligible, such as those that require you to play vs The Innkeeper or watch a match. Most everything else is fair game though, so now you’ll have a reason to make friends with a recent opponent that isn’t just to send them a compliment.
Sharing is Caring
You’ll soon be able to easily copy and share decklists with Deck Importing! No more screen shotting decklists, or staring at a web page as you carefully build a deck, card by card. Trying—and sharing—a new decklist will be as simple as copy and paste!
Here’s how it works:
If your deck is already full, when you select the Hero portrait at the top of a deck in your collection, you’ll see a Copy button*. Press that button and your decklist will be copied to your clipboard. If you paste your decklist into a text document, it will look like this:
See that conveniently highlighted ‘code’ near the bottom? That code also works on its own, making it easier to share a decklist with friends in chat or social media.
Importing a decklist is easy. When you go to create the new deck, Hearthstone will “know” when you’ve got a valid decklist on your clipboard, so you’ll be asked if you’d like to create a new deck with the one you’ve got copied. Then you can watch your new deck be built before your eyes. You can also import decklists to Tavern Brawls!
Don’t have all the cards a deck requires? No worries! In that case, it works just like a deck recipe. Any cards you don’t already own will appear insubstantial and you can select them for suggested replacements. You might also notice that your golden and non-golden cards now stack in decklists too!
Deck Importing is great for finding and sharing new decks, but it’s also helpful for managing your library of decks. Save the code for decklists you rarely use, and when you’re ready to play one again, just copy and import it.
The new update including these features will arrive in the coming weeks. We’re super excited about them, and we can’t wait to hear what you think!
This extra check in the settings will make the interface so complicated that it will scare off newbies and make the game incredibly difficult!
Developers Blizzard will need a couple more years to still dare and enter into the game so contradictory and complex functionality!
I have to say that I really like this update. And it's not too often that a Hearthstone update makes me happy. Blizzard, here are 3 FREE Un'Goro Packs just for you, Un'Goro Pack - Un'Goro Pack - Un'Goro Pack Enjoy!
I dont have friends. I'll play with myself then. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Programmers at Hearthpwn will be quite busy on the day this patch applies. They need to figure out how a deck is converted into the code so as to cash out the "We will support the deck list features here on HearthPwn" promise.
log in rewards should be a thing. If they think daily is too much, why not a weekly reward for logging in for 7 consecutive days. I know we have a free pack from TB but it would also be good to get rewards just by patronizing the game.
They should allow us to complete co-op Tavern brawl with your friend instead of random Player!
Actually you can already play the coop brawl with a friend.
Anyone have any idea when this launches? Or what the other changes in there are as well? Anyone going to guess on some nerfs? Card text changes? Bug fixes?
New players are too confused by 18 deck slots, so they add an infinite amount.
Seems legit.
Friends to complete quests?
What second account...
As I understood it, theese changes are not the only ones coming. So we might see more cool stuff in the upcoming update
Yes I can be a loner again and never touch the play mode button!
''so now you’ll have a reason to make friends with a recent opponent that isn’t just to send them a compliment.''
I don't have friends tho
If this isn't one of the best updates for hearthstone, I can't think of an update that promoted more fun with friends.
Yeah this can't come fast enough. Will do wonders for my blood pressure when I can do quests without having to put up with BM'ing retards.
Tournament Mode?
Question about friendly challenges. In quests like "Win 3 games as [class]", will our friends just be able to be concede and count as a victory? If so, that would be awesome, but also a bit abusable.
